You know......I don't really know what to say. I am a FAN of Scott's. I liked him in STP and Velvet Revolver. It's really a shame that he can't get his shit together, he really is a TALENTED guy. I love his voice.

I saw STP for the first time in 1994 (and again in 1996) right after Kurt Cobain passed away. He got on his little soapbox on stage and went on a rant about how f*cked up Cobain was because he was a junkie, and here it was, revealed not much later that he was fighting the same battle.

I am, and have been a fan of Saul Hudson...AKA Slash for even longer than Scott. I was fortunate to see G N' R with the original member's in 1989 on the Rolling Stones tour in Los Angeles, and two other times after all the changes on the Use Your Illusion tour, and I was fortunate to see VR in Tucson the last two years.
